Client Testimonials

  • "To acknowledge the significant impact Melissa has had, I observed a profound emotional and mental state of disarray in my son after he graduated college. As a parent, particularly given the substantial investment I made in his college education and his evident reluctance to express his genuine emotions, my concerns were fully addressed.

    What most surprised me about the coaching process was the remarkable speed at which they were able to identify JJ’s passions, discern a positive shift in his well-being and emotional state, and unlock his true potential. I have witnessed my child transform before my eyes. He now exudes confidence in his new role and possesses an unwavering drive for success that was missing.

  • "What shifted for me was my perspective. It shifted from feeling frantic and lacking strategy (for my job search) to feeling more collected and having clear goals.”

    — Asher, College Graduate

  • "Working with Melissa gave me the tools I needed when an amazing opportunity appeared. I had a polished LinkedIn profile, a strong resume, and the clarity to go after what I wanted. Without that foundation, I wouldn't have been ready."

    — Daisy, College Graduate 22’

  • "Melissa was highly recommended to me as an excellent Career Coach specializing in leading and teaching young professionals with their career searches.  My daughter is young in her career, with a strong educational pedigree and was looking to change industries, she did not anticipate the job market challenges that she faced.  

    She knew after four months of trying to network and look for a job on her own in a very tough labor market, additional support was needed to help elevate her search in a new direction. I met with Melissa and after a phone conversation I knew Melissa’s style and direction was exactly what my daughter needed and we never looked back!  From learning how to represent herself during a job search starting with how do you leverage Linked In, a solid resume, networking and interview skills and most of all building confidence.

    Melissa’s value is unmatched!!Melissa is an expert in her field, highly resourceful and she connects with trust and authenticity to her clients.
